Abstract

In an applicator, in particular for a lip cosmetic, comprising a spattle-like base body injected from plastic, it is provided that the base body has a spattle-like form, wherein, starting from the stem towards the outer end, the thickness decreases, in particular tapers progressively curved.

Claims (15)

1. An applicator for a lip cosmetic, comprising a spattle-shaped base body injected from plastic, wherein the base body ( 2 , 2 ′, 2 ″) has a thickness decreasing towards a tip such that starting from an inner end, the base body tapers almost equally, progressively towards an outer end forming a concave surface;

wherein the base body ( 2 , 2 ′, 2 ″) is fixed to a stem-sided connecting socket ( 3 ) for fixing to a stem;

wherein the stem-sided connecting socket ( 3 ) is formed as a unit and has a through hole ( 10 ),

wherein the base body ( 2 , 2 ′, 2 ″) is formed as a unit engaged around an outer circumference of the connecting socket and has a portion thereof extending by injection through the entire length of the through hole to fix and interlock the base body and the stem-sided connecting socket together,

wherein the base body is formed from a plastic material softer than a plastic material forming the stem-sided connecting socket, and

wherein the softer plastic material has a shore hardness A of 65 to 80.

2. Applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the base body ( 2 , 2 ′, 2 ″) is provided with recesses ( 7 , 7 ′, 7 ″).

3. Applicator according to claim 2 , wherein the recesses ( 7 , 7 ′) are formed as through holes.

7. Applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the base body ( 2 , 2 ′, 2 ″) has a surface roughness of 1 to 15 μm.

8. Applicator according to claim 1 , wherein pigments are admixed at least in the area of the base body ( 2 , 2 ′, 2 ″).

9. Applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the softer plastic material of the base body ( 2 , 2 ′, 2 ″) is a thermoplastic urethane with a shore hardness A of 65 to 80.

10. Applicator according to claim 1 , wherein the base body ( 2 , 2 ′, 2 ″) has a conical transition area towards the stem-sided connecting socket.
